Suggest Treatment For Sharp, Throbbing Pain In The Temples Radiating All Over
What is causing me pain? I have a headache with sharp, throbbing pain feels like the pain is radiating all over. I have sharp, throbbing pain around my temples. The entire right side of my head ( from my temple to my jaw) hurts with sharp, throbbing pain. My right ear hurts with similar pain as with the previous symptoms (sharp, throbbing pain). The right side of my face, specifically my upper cheek area, just below my eye) feels dull & achy. I have dull achy pain around my right eye. The back of my throat hurts. The back of my scalp hurts some too, but not like the other pains. When I move or change positions the pain gets worse. How can treat this pain?
I can understand your concern. The cheek area is the area where maxillary sinus is. All your symptoms like pain from ear to jaw on one side, pain while moving head, pain around eye etc. suggest that you are suffering from sinusitis, i.e. your sinus is congested. As your throat hurts too, it seems that you are suffering from cold.
As the sinus is congested with mucus which is fluid like, when you move the head, it moves inside causing pressure in the sinus. I would advise you to use over the counter decongestants to clear the sinuses. In addition, inhalation of hot water vapor and antihistamines such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) once a day for 5 days can help.
If these over the counter medicines don't help, then you should see an ENT specialist for examination of the sinuses and further treatment.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.
Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
